It depends on how dense your quilting and weather or not your doing a custom or panto. I quilt with mid arm(15) and do alot of custom work. It takes me about 40 plus hours per queen quilt. I can do an all over pattern in about 2 hours. Its not as easy as it looks, takes practice for most people, and then there's the born natural quilters, I'm not one of those. Congrats on your new toy! Have fun!
